THE WISE BIRDS

 

 

There were a large number of birds in an aviary. They were all very friendly and affectionate to each other.  Every morning  and evening they all sang songs together. The birds were well fed by its keeper. So they all looked pretty and fluffy. A wicked cat noticed these birds and its mouth often watered to have the birds as its prey. So it was expecting for an opportunity to enter into the aviary. Unluckily,  an infectious disease broke out in the aviary. As a result, most of the birds fell ill. The bird-keeper felt anxious and looked for a doctor. While he was enquiring about a doctor, the wicked cat overheard his talk.

The wicked cat started making plans to reach the aviary somehow or other. Thinking hard, the cat decided to gain entry into the aviary as a doctor in order to fulfil her wish. So the cat dressed herself as a doctor. Taking a number of medicines with her she approached the aviary keeper.

 

 

The aviary-keeper being busy at that time  asked the cat to do her duty as a doctor. Expecting this situation the cat entered the aviary door. With triumphful look she asked the birds, “How are you all, friends? I have come here to cure you. Here are the medicines for your treatment.” But all the birds understood that the cat had come in the disguise of a doctor. “We are quite Ok Mr. Cat and we don’t need any nursing from you. Please leave us alone” cried the birds. The cat was afraid that the aviary-keeper would come on hearing the cry of birds. So it ran away.
